Keeping Your Appliance in Shape

Before performing any cleaning operation, unplug the

appliance from the mains electricity supply (set knob

“B” to position “ ” and then pull the plug out). Should

you fail to follow this procedure, an alarm condition

may arise. WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of an

anomaly. To restore your appliance’s normal operating

conditions, set knob “B” to position “ ” and then to

the desired setting.

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed

up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-

ommended by the manufacturer.

How to Defrost the Refrigerator

This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is chan-

neled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose

(fig. 5). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make

it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically

check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located be-

hind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly.

How to defrost the freezer compartment

- Remove the frost from time to time with the aid of the

special scraper provided (do not use knives or metal objects).

- If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, then you must defrost

the freezer completely. Proceed as follows: one day

beforehand, press the freezing button "F" until the yellow

lamp "E" comes on; it helps give the food a healthy extra

"cold shock". After 24 hours, the button switches itself off

automatically, yet you can switch it off yourself just be

pressing it again. Set the thermostat knob "B" on position

" ". WARNING: this operation switches off the whole

appliance (including the fridge compartment).

Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either

in another refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the door

open, so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping

it along with containers filled with lukewarm water.

The unit is provided with a system which allows the defrost

water to be collected in a container to be placed beneath

the unit (proceed as illustrated in fig. 6).

Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.

Remember that the motor will not start immediately,

but rather after approximately 8 minutes.

HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming

inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need

no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday

function (by setting knob "A" accordingly). This way,

with limited energy consumption, the temperature of

the refrigerator compartment is kept at around 15°C

(you can store your make up and beauty products in

it, for example) and the freezer is operated at its

minimum setting, which is essential for food

preservation.

A brief double buzzer will sound to confirm the

function has been enabled, whereas a single buzzer

indicates it has been disabled.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning your refrigerator, set knob “B” to

position “ ” and then unplug the appliance.

- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless

materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed

containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation

of odours that are difficult to remove.

- Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the

internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked

with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which

is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium

bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.

- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach

or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based

products.

- All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot

soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry thoroughly

before replacing them.

- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back

panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To

remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the

appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.

- When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of

time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the

summer months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.

- Replacing the light bulb.

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment

unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used

lamp with another one of not more than 15 W, follow the

instructions illustrated in fig. 7.
